Holiday Tags...

Hey there!  We wrapped almost all of our Christmas presents last night and I realized I didn't have any tags.  I decided to make some this morning.  I made 24 tags and used 2 sheets of cream card stock and 1 sheet of green and then the I just used scraps of red for the snowflakes.  I do not own a "to/from" stamp, so I made my own using Alpha Modern from Clear & Simple Stamps.  This stamp set includes extra letters for the more popular letters.  I was able to spell out "to" and "from" on one acrylic block which made everything go much faster.    

Here's all 24 tags!  I hope you all are having a relaxing week.  Even though all of the presents are bought and wrapped, there's still so much to do!  I think I'll relax a bit after I get the teacher gifts out of the way.  I'm nervous they aren't going to turn out and then I will really be stressing!  Maybe I'll tackle that project later today so I can stop worrying about it.  

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Have a great and productive day!!!

OCC Challenge - Back to School

Hello!  Today I'm here with another fun challenge from Our Creative Corner.  This week is all about going back to school.  To be honest, I was scratching my head quite a bit on this one.  I really don't have any stamps that have a school theme.  The only thing I could think of was to use a paper clip on my card.  So, finally I decided to make bookmarks for my kids.  My daughter is a big reader and my son is starting to read chapter books.  

I started by stamping half a sheet of white card stock with a text background stamp using black ink.  I cut the paper into two bookmarks, 2" x 6".  I was kinda messy inking around the edges, but I like how it turned out.  I'm still getting used to wet colorbox ink.  I still really like it though.  It has really great coverage on solid stamps.  

Here are photos of them individually.

Stop by Our Creative Corner and check out what the rest of the design team created using the back to school theme.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!!!
